I am completely new to this so please forgive me if I'm asking questions that seem obvious to you.

I have installed FUDforum and set up some forums, both public and private, and all that looks fine, but how do I get it to the internet? Right now, it's just hosted on my home PC but obviously I want people to be able to access it via the domain name I purchased to go along with the site I'm setting up for the forums.

So, how do I bridge that gap between hosting the forums locally and publishing the forums externally?
